Lord James Flemington has never taken life-or love-too seriously. A charming rake with a scandalous reputation, he's more interested in laughter than legacy. But when he is sent to the mysterious royal court of Warydeval, a city of secrets and seductive games, James is forced into a dangerous masquerade: win the favor of the court, marry a noblewoman, and play the part of a true gentleman-or lose everything.

Enter Lady Darla Lockwood, a masked songstress with a hidden name and a voice that enchants even the most cynical of hearts. But Darla is not who she claims to be. Behind her haunting melodies lies a noblewoman fleeing an unwanted betrothal-and a past that could unravel James's world.

As court intrigues deepen and music stirs long-buried memories, James finds himself entangled in more than just a romantic farce. When truths begin to surface and loyalties are tested, the man who once only played at love may find that his heart-and his fate-are no longer his to command.

In a realm where nothing is as it seems, can a lord who lives behind a smile discover the courage to stand for love, even if it means giving up the game?
